Hi Friends! Can you believe we are over half way through the month? This summer seems to be flying by. I'm excited to be going on a road trip with a friend next week up to Indiana to see family & friends! I hope to get some great pics to scrap!
For my layout I used a cute sketch from Colorful Creations. and combined it with a photo inspiration challenge by Scrap Stuffz "Inspired by Challenges".

I was inspired by the color of the birds and the bottle for my color palette. I chose to add seagulls on my layout for the birds. The pine cone inspired me to use a tree on my layout and I chose the palm tree. The last thing that inspired me was that it was outdoors and I chose to use an outdoor photo.

Hi Friends! Today's layout is of my husband and grandsons. My husband rescued a turtle in the road close to home and kept it to show the kids. They loved the experience of seeing a large turtle so close! Of course the turtle had other ideas and didn't stick around long.
For my page today I chose to use a sketch from Let's Capture Our Memories. I was drawn to the sketch because you could use four or more photos on your page! I have to admit the sketch was a little out of my comfort zone I have gotten in a habit of using one or two photos on a page. However this time but I was inspired to give it a try and I'm so glad I did!

For the title I chose two different fonts and welded them together in the Cricut Craft Room.

Hi Friends! Today's layout is a combined challenge. Stuck?! teamed up with Studio Challenges for a great combination Sketch & Color!! Sometimes it really helps with a direction when you add a color challenge! This time I was directed to use paper that I might not have used! That's what I love about a color challenge to get you motivated!!

My page features my daughter and grandson. He loves to play on the steps of the pool and today was no exception!

Hi Friends! Have you heard of The Memory Nest? I have been following them for a while now and finally was able to find time to play along! I have this cute picture of my grandson. After church he ran up to the piano player and she sat him down beside her and was showing him how to play!

Stacy's Sketches 4 All anything goes challenge use your stash!
I have been trying to use up my stash. I think I have had the piano die cut for over 10 years. Yes I'm a scrapbook hoarder! lol... This is one of the things I have been working on this year. I pulled some of my stickers out and put them in a craft box for my grand kids. They love it and they use them faster than I ever would!!

Hi Friends! I found a new to me challenge blog the Paper Bakery! I guess you could only enter if you used their kits but because of Pinterest the blog has received a lot more traffic and is now open to everyone! So I'm playing along this month and I loved working with the sketch.

I have so many stickers that I'm trying to use them as often as I can.

Hi Friends! Today I have a layout to share with you using the Let's Get Sketchy week 1 sketch I chose to rotate the sketch to the left. I combined the sketch challenge with the July challenge @ Scrap the Boys.
